[jitter] Re: metro sometimes unstable not accurate movie playback

i've posted regarding this / or similar issue recently  - spoke to many peoeple and did a ton of testing - and the result  - theres simply a glitch in the clock / threading in Jitter - which causes unreliable / jumpy playback. period. I have not met / seen - or even heard of a current ( recent versions of max and jitter on newer pc's mac) configuration that doesnt have this problem. eventually after phone calls and lots of iquiries with other vj's & video artists - many have said either live with - or use something else! - I couldnt believe this issue would be put aside, so I contacted cycling74 - and the response "we will address this issue after the release of Max 5".

so i am mostly posting not to bash cycling74 - but to help people save time testing and wondering "is it my machine?" - 
 99% chance is its NOT. its Jitter code....


this playback issue is a huge problem, and I've not been able to record any realtime output of Jitter yet - the hiccup or jump, to me, is unacceptable for recorded media. maybe for live performance its ok, but...

I know other video / vj software doesnt have this playback problem, so it must be the code behind jitter/max
